FINALLY!! Ran the stang at Rockingham Friday night!!

Eric4Nitrous · 04-21-2002, 11:01 AM

Oh my goodness!!! Is all i got to say!! First pass off the trailer 7.20 195!!!!! I about fell out of my rocker on this one. Ok, went back to the pits, checked the plugs, everything looked ok. So I changed my convertor out to a looser one. Second pass, did a HUGE burnout hoping to get the tires a little warmer than previous. Staged, launched, and bam it was on the wheelie bars for the first 60 ft or so, then came down hard and hooked like crazy. End result?? are you ready for this?? 7.15 194mph, mph slowed down by 1 mph but i think that was because of all the time she was in the air

But needless to say, I am extremely happy with the car. I Can't wait for Maple Grove!!

I still think you need to go to Cecil in June. Although you cant run, you could still show! It would be fun!
Think about it! cya! Christine

Old Guy with 87 GT · 04-22-2002, 07:40 AM

i've been telling peaple about your car ,everybody i talk to seems pretty interested .......there was a couple of guy's at cecel that woulda loved to see it too.........i was gonna ask you for some more info on it ,so i have more to talk about ,what types of power adders,what it weighs,what type of chassis mods ,ect, ect.......bout how much hp do you think your running (is there a dyno that can measure that high

)

well thats some great times dude ,keep us updated on it's times and how it's running ....and lord knows be carefull ,your like running some fast numbers , be cautios and make sure your safty crap is in tip top shape...

when are you running it next,i might have to take a little road trip

Crazy Horse GT · 04-22-2002, 07:58 AM

man that is so cool, you must be proud,can i borrow it ?heheh, really what srtong run's i would love to see it go, congrat's man those glidden's know ford's, cya

tireburner163 · 04-22-2002, 08:20 AM

hehe..and you drove it to the cruise spot..LMAO. It's not that often you see a lot 7 second car rolling down the street.

95mustanggt · 04-22-2002, 08:42 AM

I'd just like to hit a 7.15 in the 1/8th!!

Eric4Nitrous · 04-22-2002, 02:44 PM

Thanks guys, yeah Billy can build some mean motors

Oldguy, thanks for tellin everyone about the car..I've put it on a chassis dyno before it made over 1,700hp+ to the rear wheels on both stages!! The car weights 2,450 with me in it. It's a tube frame car, built just like a pro stocker. I'll probably run it in about two more weeks just to get it dialed in some more. I think it will go 7 flat at around 200mph when I get the chassis and everything else tuned in right..I"ll let ya know.

HOLY CRAP! =) Congrats man! That is one amazing ride you got there. I would love to be in a car that fast just to see how it feels. That must be a hell of alot of fun. Keep it up and aim for those 6's.

Take it easy,
§am.

MidNiteBlu 5.0 · 04-22-2002, 05:06 PM

Wow that is crazy fast

I bet that is a rush! Goodluck!

1fastchick · 04-22-2002, 05:47 PM

Holy **** thats awesome!

6T9PONY · 04-22-2002, 06:26 PM

Man, you're only a tenth and a half from sixes, you gotta get em! Keep running it and get that thing under 7 flat!!!!

Great job! I'd love to watch the race!

mike_navigator · 04-22-2002, 09:06 PM

Hey great runs, are you going to be at the civil wars this weekend the 27-28 at rockingham. just wonder i'll be there.

mike

Eric4Nitrous · 04-23-2002, 03:25 PM

Hey Mike, I'll be down there, but I'm not taking the car. Maybe, we can set up a meeting place and watch the races together?? Let me know.

Eric

Stangrrr · 04-23-2002, 03:45 PM

Wow, that's great, especially for right off the trailer!

How were your 60' & 1/8 mile times on those passes?
(I'm guessing the 60ft to be in the 1.1X range.)

What size & brand of tires are on the back? 15x33.5 or 17x34 steamrollers?

Eric4Nitrous · 04-23-2002, 04:36 PM

Stangrrr, yeah it was a good pass for right off the trailer. My tires are Mickey Thompson ET Drags 33 * 17.0. My sixty foot was a 1.08 on first pass, 1.10 second. Eight mile times were in the 4.6 range.

Eric

Stangrrr · 04-24-2002, 11:22 AM

Those are excellent 60' & 1/8 mile times! You're right up there with everyone else in the Pro5.0 class!

Eric4Nitrous · 04-24-2002, 04:56 PM

Thanks Stangrrr. Yeah I think it will be pretty competitive this year. I guess we'll have to wait and see

mike_navigator · 04-24-2002, 07:41 PM

i think we should meet up we are cruising up to rockingham, it will be me with my bro in his gt, Tim C, mercury, rs350, and maybe some more but not sure, it is me and my bro's first time going to rockingham, and civil wars period. so i really dont know all the details.
